Ethics & Health Equity Bundle: 6 CE Hours for Massage Therapists
Ethics, Boundaries, Communication and Health Equity for Massage Therapists
6 CE Hours | 4 Ethics + 2 Health Equity
Designed to meet Washington State LMT renewal requirements for ethics and health equity CE in a single enrollment.
This bundle combines two complementary courses — Grounded Practice: Ethics, Boundaries & Communication and Health Equity Foundations — into a single enrollment package. Together, they cover 6 CE hours across the two categories most commonly required for massage therapy license renewal
Both courses approach their subject matter the same way: grounded, clinically relevant, and framed around what it actually means to practice with integrity. Ethics and health equity are not separate obligations. They inform each other. This bundle holds them together.
This course meets Washington State’s ethics and health equity continuing education requirements and Oregon’s supervised ethics and cultural competency CE requirements. It is self-paced, delivered through Teachable LMS, and open to enrollment at any time.
Our courses are available for 30 days from the date of enrollment; because all course purchases are final and nonrefundable, we warmly encourage you to choose a training date that works well for your schedule.
Meet your CE requirements. Deepen your practice.
